Feed me the ooey-gooey caramel fear

That sticks to the back of my molars

With the threat of choking me to death.

.

Pile my mouth full of candy corn

Until the only breaths I can take

Are stained with the stench of sugar.

.

Pour bloody cocktails down my throat.

Make me swell with the sweetness

Of a different life well-lived.

.

Give me the knife and let me carve

My own happy jack-o-lanterns.

Let me stuff them full of spite.

.

The shadows creep out of my soul,

Slither across the moonlit ground.

Dark living in the dark, redundant.

.

Redundancy doesn't bother the immortal.

It doesn't bother the monsters.

The shadows don't mind.

.

So feed me the ooey-gooey caramels

That make me tremble with terror

And bring on the night of the ghosts.
